HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. "mnrni7ig mu t t es alter 3 Evening 3 minutes after 4 THE LONDON FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 21, 1835. We begin to think that our attacks on the Corn laws have done good. The Journals now denounce them more boldly than they were wont, which is a good augury of their destruction. The Morning Chronicle to-day properly speaks of our Corn-law legislation as absurd and wicked, and says_" the Corn-laws must be abolished." We echo that cry. The country cannot retain absurd and wicked legisla tion without guilt—there can he no compromise with crime. 'Who ever heard of a wise and vir tuous people tolerating half a robbery and two-thirds of a murder ? How, then, can they tolerate the half or any part of the wicked Corn-laws, which are a great mass of theft, and, starving people out of existence, com mit a slow but txtensive and torturing murder ? To them belong 'all the horrors of war, and none of its glory. They prevent intercourse between nations— they de;rastate many lands, as the reader may be con vinced, by Dr. BOWRING'S speech at Manchester— they nourish national hostility, and all the bad p as sio as which are conjoined with it—and they slaughter their thousands and their millions. We again ask our humane, enlightened, and intelligent people, who have struck the sword out of the hands of the executioner, and who will scarcely permit the life of the greatest criminal to be sacrificed, we again ask them how long they mean to tolerate this " ab surd, wicked," and murderous legislation. Those persons whose minds are yet imbued with the anti-commercial theory, that one nation can only gain because another loses, insist, because other na tio::s would gain by the abolition of our Corn-laws, that we should lose all that they gain. This is most absurd ; and it might as well be said that the United. States and England, whose mu tual prosperity is so much promoted by the cot ton Toanufacture—o ne producing the raw material and the other making it into cloth—are plunder ing each other. Nations are in this respect just 11 1 :c individuals, and when one of them produces corn, and the other cloth, their mutual exchange of what each produces benefits both. Our idle landlords may plunder both our weavers and our corn-growers, but foreign nations have no such power. To have our cloth they must buy it by an equivalent. If, therefore, they would be benefitted by our buying their corn, me should certainly he benefired by selling them our cloth ; and if we were not, why they could not force us either to sell or buy, and there would be no dealings between us. The law to prevent the importation of corn by a duty proceeds on the assumption that so to import corn is advantageous, or, there being no pow :T to compel the importation, it would nut take place, and the law begins by putting an end to that great ad- vantage. Now--It is an important question—does putting an end to that advan•age produce any corresponding ad vantage ? The believers in the anti-commercial theory above alluded to, assert, probably, that the landlords ob tain a correspondin g advantage ; but, as their theory as to nations has - been overthrown ; it seems rational to suppose that they are wrong as to individuals. Let us hope they me; otherwise this startling cansequence would arise, that individuals and classes are benefitted by inflicting mutual injuries, and committing mutual injustice That will then be virtue, and murder righteousness ; the whole moral world will be upset, and IKEY So_ LOMONS anti G REENACRE ought to be honoured instcad of 'WILBERFORCE and HOWARD. The Liullords, unlike foreign nations, trespassing on the t h e peop'e repose in them, have power to take away a part of the farmers corn and the they do take it. That thi s wearer!: cloth, and benefits them we do not believe, any more than we believe that the trade of the burglar is an a d vrioa n eou s out ; hut we are quite sure that the landlords are not benefit:et! as much by what they ex tort from the others as they would be if they possessed or acquired an equal quantity of corn and cloth by their own industry. Nor do sle consider the habits which their plunder enc.:wage at all beneficial to them. It is only eonsi,tEnt with the general harmonics of nature to infer that laws which are intended, like time Corn-laws, to put an \ end to one great advantagc, should preserve, through all their ramifica tions..the mischievous principle in which they began. They' cheat the farmers, and promote gambling amongst, corn dealers, as well as starve the people ; and thAs the landlords have no interest whatever, C fiic !IC either moral or pecuniary, in common with the rest of society, they cannot be benefited by such absurd, wicked, and demoralizing legislation. In conclusin, we must recommend Dr. Bow- RINQ ' S speech at Manchester to the careful perusal of the reader. It amply confirms the statements we have made of the ruinous nature of the Corn-laws. One of our Tory Contemporaries published yestt7_ day a valedictory address of the deputation of the English Protestant Church in Upper Canada to the people of this country, signed by the Rev. WILLIAM BETTRIDGE, a member of the deputation, which a heavy press of matter alone prevents us from inserting in our co!umns. Either the Rev. author of this curious production is one of the most unsophisticated of eccle t siastical simpletons, or he is wholly unacquainted with the state of public opinion upon Church questions in this country. Of this the " valedictory address" fur nishes us with some curious proofs, which, as they are designed for the information of the faithful, ought not to be entirely overlooked. In summing up the deputational labours of himself and colleague siee,-, their arrival in England the Rev. Gentleman says : With her Majestu's Government I have used every legitimate effort to procure a Bishop, and some alleviations to our spiritual wants. We have brought the state of our Church personally under the Attention of about 2,000 of our clergy, and one uniform expression of interest has been the result. The Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin have given public proof of their persuasion that the prosperity of the colonial Members of the Church is necessary to the well-being of the nationa. Zion. The Members of both Houses of Parliament have been supplied with a copy of the " History of the Church in Upper Canada ;" and from many I have received unequivocal testi mony that the subject is cor.sidcred by them as worthy of most serious consideration. Several Members of both Houses have openly espo'used the interests of our deserted Zion. The great trouble which this holy man experiencesin finding a Bishop, is the best possible proof of the de plorable condition of the Church in Upper Canada. We require not to be informed after this that there are no episcopal palaces --no well-endowed cathedrals— no chances of rich translations within sound of the falls of Niagara. Did these things exist, there would be no lack of candidates for the mitre, though there breathed not a single Protestant throughout the whole extent of British America. The duties of the Epis copal Bench are not very onerous in Ireland, and yet when has there been a deputation from the sister country praying for the blessing of an additional Bishop ? Nay, Ireland could at this moment afford to send eight Bishops to Canada without expos ing her Protestant inhabitants to the remotest chance of a diminution in the amount of spiritual in struction which they now receive—without abstracting an alms from the wallet of the beggar, a day's work from the labourer, or the fraction of a good example from the great body of the people. Mr. BETTRIDGE, with a simplicity rare in modern churchmen, takes the trouble to inform the public that he made the distressed state of the Church in Upper Canada known to about 2,000 clergymen in this country, and the result was " one uniform expression of interest." Expressions are cheap enough, and, consequently, the Clergy are never sparing of them. But did these holy men do nothing more for this perishing transatlantic offshoot of what Mr. BETTRIDGE, with a strong smack of un orthodox enthusiasm calls " the National Zion ?" We strongly suspect not. They are not fond of placing their lights under a bushel, and secresy is no part of the object of the Reverend Deputation. The Univer sities were even less liberal than the 2,000 orthodox Priests ; for whereas the latter made the deputation a present of their sympathies, the former's donation con sisted only of the public avowal of the very question able opinion " that the prosperity of the Colonial Members of the Church is necessary to the well-being of the National Zion." Not a syllable was uttered by either party about a voluntary subscription for the maintenance - of a Bishop. No, no, that would be set ting the ignorant laity an ill example. It would be tantamount to an acknowledgement that the State at home was too bountiful, and churchmen in general sufficiently rich, to afford to be moderately charitable. But proceed we to another section of the address : We need a Bishop. No Bishop —no Church. Is it right that the Romish Church should have a Bishop and Priests maintained at the public expense in tipper Canada, where their followers form but a small fraction of the population, and that encouragement should be given to various sectaries in the province, while to our national Church the right and privilege of a Bishop should he distinctly refused ? I know we have one Bishop in Lower Canada; but is he sufficient to take the Episcopal charge of a country 1,400 miles in length, three times the size of England, and containing a population of 1,100,000 souls 1 The old complaint with additions. But mark the felicity with which theßev.Deputy, in the true spirit of an Irish Prelate, negatively defines that religious body corporate, the Church—" No Bishop, no Church 1" Happy Ireland, where Parsons may be caught by the thousand, and Bishops by the dozen--where a repletion of Church constitutes the liver complaint of a whole na tion. In the opinion of Mr. BETTRIDGE, a Bishop, like a Sovereign, is a corporation sole—a Christian community in his own Right Rev, person. We pass over the plaintive allusion to the privileges enjoyed by the Canadian Catholics. The meekest Churchmen soon cry out against the Irish system, when th►e tables happen to be in danger of turning in favour of the co-religionists of the victims of English ecclesi astical misrule in Ireland. But the spiritual wants of the Canadians are not confined to a Bishop--though that to be sure is the master grievance—as may be gathered from the followed extract from the address : We need assistance in the maintenance of Ministers, the restoration of the grant to the " Society for the Propagation of the Gospel," and an annual grant for clearing portions of the " Clergy Reserves," for glebes, as the growing wants of the colony require. Let Christian England be reminded, even by every hamlet, of its high and holy duty to provide fur the spiritual instruction of its subjects to the remotest boun dary of its possessions. Let all remember, that the evil we complain of is continually increasing. In every petition let the prayer be strongly expressed that the Imperial Parliament would forthwith proceed to the settlement of the question of the " Clergy Reserves,"—because so long as .the subject re mains in its present state there can be no peace in the province —because the Legislative Council have unanimously and re putedly deprecated the agitation of the question in the Pro vince, and a large majority in the House of Assembly have constantly dissented from the method of disposal proposed by the majority, and because the Imperial Legislature alone CPII definitively decide the question. The public need only read the Act (31 Geo. 111. c. 31, sec. 35-42.) to be persuaded, that to the clergy of the Church of England alone these lands belong. I am prepared also to show from the corres pondence of the Government of the day, with General Simcoe, the Lieutenant -Governo r of the province, that such was the only construction of the Act then thought of. Let no " ap propriation clause" be forced upon us. At last the cat is out of the bag. The Rev. De puty, in the name of the Clergy of Upper Canada, " wants no appropriation clause"--in other words, he wants no inquiry into the actual revenues of the Church, with a view to proportion them to the spiri tual necessities of the people. He does not want the Government to ascertain how much the Church pro perty may be worth, that its amount may be increased if found inadequate to the proper support of a Chris ti in Ministry. But as regards an " appropriation clause," which would further enrich the Clergy with out inquiry, it is quite clear that the Rev. Gentleman would offer no objection to it 3 adoption. A law to ascertain the amount of property enjoyed by an alien Priesthood in Ireland, excites horror even in the bosom of a Canadian divine ; and yet we would lay any wager that an Act to rob the people of En iand for the maintenance of a dozen Bishops, where even one is thought unnecessary, would not call forth a single remonstrance on the part of the Clergy ! To ascertain the exact amount of a priest's income is a sin against the Holy Ghost; but to rob a layman, whether believer or unbeliever, to enrich the ecclesiastical larder, is an act meritorious in the intention, and doubly so in the execution. The concluding paragraph exhibits much of the simplicity of e xpression which pervades this document : 'lti conclusion, may I be permitted to ex p ress t h e hope that some of my brethren in the m'riistry, who in our personal interviews have exhibited the most lively sympathy in our need, will be led to offer themselves as labourers in this most deserted portion of the Lord's ♦ineyari ? How thankful should I be to renew our intercourse in Upper Canada ; and to assist them, by my experience of th country, in entering on the sphere appointed for their future ministrations I" Theißev. Mr. BET TRIDGE nee d only cons u lt t h e s, a i'c:amns of the Times, to put himself in L ,le way of obtaining as many parsons as would load the Great Western. Titles to orders are matters of daily traffic, and curacies, " in or near town," arc objects of perpetual barter or sale. Even the very number in which his valedictory address appeared contained two of them. In conclusion, we do not despair of the progress of the ecclesiastical, and even of the episcopal, branch of the Protestant Church in Upper Canada. The fling at " the ap propriation clause" embodies the seeds of a promise that the Canadian Priesthood have a rich harvest of Tithes in prospective. Things might evidently be worse with them even now, and apparently would, were Parliament to be at all inquisitive. The hint will not be lost upon the Universities, and Upper Canada may be already said to add to her other blessings the pecu liar advantages of as many mitres and crosiers as she has thousands of pounds to spare in their acquisition. Ireland, at a pinch, will contribute a few ; an d as there is little to be done in Upper Canada, we venture to recommend the Irish Bishops as peculiarly well qua lified for a life of indolence. We understand that the Reformers of Southwark, who reside in the extensive parish of St. George's, will dine together at the Bridge House Hotel, in the Borough, on Monday next, when Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY and Mr. HARVEY have engaged to at tend. As we do not doubt that the latter Gentleman will fully explain his own political position, as wr'll as give his views generally upon the state of parties, we shall be careful to furnish our readers with a full account of the proceedings. We insert from the Times some just observations on the Post-office, urging the propriety of dispatch ing a morning mail from London at eight o'clock. Such a plan would, we believe, very much promote the interests of the public, and they would be still farther served, if a morning packet wer e d es patched from Liverpool for Dublin every day about seven o'clock. That additional accommodation, with due diligence on the part of the Post-office authorities, would enable all the letters and papers which left Lon don one evening, to be despatched from Dublin on the next, for all parts of Ireland. We would recommend the Post-office to be diligent in the matter, for we are not quite sure that it will be able, by means of laws, to prevent competition, unless it meet the wants of com merce, and show itself ready to profit by all the facili ties of intercourse which can be opened. The world is astir and alive, and the Post-office must not remain dormant or go to sleep. For the following intelligence from the West Indies, we are indebted to a Second Edition of the Times of this morning • The Sandbach, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday, sailed from Demerara on the .sth ult. The accounts she brings from that colony are very favourable. The Ist of August was ob served as a holyday, and it passed over in a manner highly creditable to the liberated apprentices. There was not the slightest disturbance : all wag harmony and joy. The plan ters and negroes were adjusting the rate of wages. io far the adjustment had been amicably conducted. The current rate demanded by the labourers was ten dollars per month, which some planters had given, but which others had refused, deeming it too high. The conduct of the negroes continued unexceptionable, and not a doubt was felt that the adjustment would be made to the satisfaction of all parties. The recently imported Hill Coolies " worked well." The Moniteur Parisien of Wednesday, flatly con tradicts the report published by the Journal de Paris of the preceding day, relative to the restoration of amicable relations between France and Mexico. The blockade is, therefore, to be continued. We regret that the arbitration of some mutually friendly Power is not solicited, with a view to put an end to a dispute which threatens to be interminable. The Grand Council of the Canton of Soleure has likewise instructed its Deputies to oppose. the demands of France. The pear is fast ripening in that quarter. There is no news of any interest from Spain, i n these Papers. The following extracts from the Journals are more than usually important, but want of space prevents us from offering any comment upon them :--- THE SUGAR TRADE.—The Chamber of Commerce of Bor deaux has addressed a letter to the Minister of Commerce on the Colonial Sugar question. The Members follow the ex ample of those of Havre in stating, that if they were to look at the inutility of their efforts for the last ten years in this matter, they should remain quiet on the question ; but, that the con dition of the Colonies is no longer tolerable, and that their duty is to make a strong representation to the Minister. They point out to his notice, that if the Colonists go on contending with the home-growers under their present dis advantages, the ruin of the former is inevitable. The one hundred kilogrammes of sugar are worth in the Colonies about 481., and this quantity entering France pays 49f. 50 c. en trance duty, besides the expense of commission, &c., amount ing to between 28f. and 30f., so that the total impost on Colonial Sugars amounts to 78f. or 801. per 100 kilogramme s —that iF, to 162 per cent. upon its primitive value in the islands. On the other hand, home-made sugar is charged with only 16f. 50c. duty per 100 kilogrammes. The mem bers ask whether this can be called justice, and whether one article of Frcnch produce ought thus to be protected against another. They point out the advantages which the home growers have already experienced by their long immunity from imposts, and call to the mind of the Minister the statement of Admiral de :doges, as to the stagnation in the sugar trade of the colonies, observing that as long as the present system con tinues, nobody II ill undertake to despatch vessels for cargoes of sugar to the West Indian colonies. If, however, they add,the colonies cannot dispose of their produce, it is impossible that they can pay for produce sent from France. Hitherto p►o duce to the value of i0,000,000f. has been annurlly exported thither, and the transport of these. commodities, added to that of 80,000 000 of kilogrammes of sugar brought to France in return, has occupied 400 vessels, 6,000 seamen, and 200,000 tons of freightage, being nearly one-half of the whole mari time trade of Fiance (coasting trade not included). They ask what is to become of the interests mixed up in this trade if the trade itself be abandoned? and they terminate their letter by cxpres,ing their conviction that Government will listen to their representations, and " will free itself from the selfish demands of which its feebleness has so long forced it to bear the yoke ;" that the duties on colonial sugars will be lowered, and the two species of produce, home and colonial, will be put upon a footing of perfect equality. The Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles has made a similar representation to the Minister of Commerce on the sume question, and de mands the placing of the two kinds of sugar on exactly the same level as to the duties. STATE or SPAIN. —The Journal de Paris publishes an ar ticle on the present critical situation of Spain, which inspires this journal with apprehensions, not for the ultimate result, but for the duration of the civil war. The insubordination and mutiny of Espartero's troops, when the General was on the point of attacking Estella, the Journal de Paris very justly remarks, have dope more for the Pretender's cause than the mountains and rocks of Biscay and Guipuscoa, According to this journal, one of the most lamentable features of the late oc currences is, that the example set by the troops has been imi tated by the constituted authorities. The addresses forwarded to the Queen Regent by the Constitutional Municipality of Madrid, and the provincial deputations, this print regards as worse than useless, as mere declamation and mutual recrimi nation can never re-establish the affairs of a Government, or put an end to civil gar. The union of all fractions of the constitutional party in Spain, the restoration of order and firm ness, prudence, and liberality on the part of the Government, arc, according► to this journal, the only measures which can again induce fortune to march with the Queen Regent's ban ner. In conclusion, the Journal de Paris thinks that the neglect of the French Government towards Spain is in a great measure the cause of the deplorable condition in which that unhappy land is now placed. DOWNFALL OF Cnacow. —A letter of the Bth inst. from Cracow, which we find in the Commerce, states that the Ple nipotentiaries of the three protecting Powers had refused to sanction a congratulatory address which the members of the Senate of Cracow were desirous of forwarding to the King of the French on the occasion of the birth of the Count do Paris. The object of the Senate is stated to have been principally to remind Europe that a Republic in Cracow still exists, and to recal to the recollection of the French Ministry the expediency of sending thither a French Consul or resident. In reply to the demand which the Senate submitted through its Presi dent, M. Haller, the Plenipotentiaries stated through the re presentative of Russia, that •" the Senate of Cracow could send neither deputation nor congratulatory letter to the French monarch ; that France was nothing to that body, the treaty of 1815 having ceased to exist ; that the French Ministry had abandoned all claim to protect the Republic of Cracow ; and that even were it to address a congratulatory letter to Louis Philippe, the French Government neither could nor would receive it." MOVEMENTS OP THE ENDLIMII FLEET IN VIM MEDITEE RANEAN. —The ships of the English squa dron—the Rodney, , aria venibrohe, lett this port on Sunday last. Their de,tination is not changed, as was reported; they are to con tinue their voyage to the Dardanelles. The Rhadamanthus sailed the same day ( Aug 26) for Smyrna ; and the steamer the Confidence went with despatches to Palermo, from whence she has already returned. Sir R. Stopford sailed on Thurs day, the 30th of August. He was on board the Princess Charlotte, and had with him the Vanguard and Asia, with the brig Walsh. It is said he also is gone to the Dardanelles, touching at Athens. A letter from Constantinople quotes advises of the 10th from B)gdad, stating that the Pacha had been seriously alarmed at the advance of Mehemet Ali's General, Kerschuk Pacha, towards Bagdad and the Euphra.es, at the head of 38 battalions, after the pacification of the Hedjaz. The Pacha had dispatched some Tatars to the Turkish Seraskier with t!le intulligence, and the latter had immediately concentrated his troops, and approached: frontier of Syria. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. I.—lt appears, from ac counts that may be depended upon, that considerable levies of troops are making in Russia. It is said that one man in forty of the entire population is to be taken. The numerous couriers, too, that have crossed the frontier since the absence of the Emperor, indicate the approach of important events.— Leipzic Allgenteine Zeitung.

THE LATE UNFORTUNATE DUEL ON WIMBLEDON COM mont.—This morning having been appointed by the Judges for the trial of Mr. Broughton, the second of the unfortunate Mr MTfin, who- was shot in the duel on Wimbledon Common, at an early hour the Court was crowded with resi,ectable persons, and the bench displayed an array of Magistrates seldom witnessed. Shortly after ten o'clock the Judges took their seats on the bench, and the' different parties connected with the late fatal affray were called upon. John Young and Henry Webber answered to their names, and immediately took their places at the bar. Mr. BODKIN then said that their L,.rdships, upon his appli cation, had appointed that day for the trial of Mr. Broughton, who was concerned in the late fatal duel, but in cons q tette° of the illness of Mr. Clarkson, who was his Counsel, it had ben thought desirable that he should not surrender. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN said that he would have been per fectly safe in the hands of Mr. Bodkin ; but as be Lad not surrendered, the Court could not try him. The Jury having been sworn, Young and Webber were indicted, together' With Eliot and others, with the wilful murder of Mr. Mirfin. They are two highly respectable and gentlemanly young men in appearance, and pleaded Not Guilty in a firm and distinct voice. Mr. CHAMBERS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prisoners. Mr. CHAMBERS, in opening the case for the proseetc ion, said that there could be no doubt that rumours had reached the ears of the Jury as to the circumstances of the present case ' • but he was quite satisfied that it was not necessary for him to ask the Jury to dismiss those rumours from their minds. The inquiry concerned the death of a gentleman who had received a fatal wound in a duel. With regard to the practice of duelling it was not his intention to off a any observations, but he was bound to state distinctly and plainly that the law of England did not enter into the nice distinctions of honour that constituted the code of duel ling. It was not necessary for him to state that any party, whether a second or principal, who participated in a duel, was guilty of murder. The two prisoners at the bar were indicted with counselling, aiding, and assisting Mr. Elict in the duel, and as such being equally guilty with him. Ile should prove most distinctly that the two prisoners at the bar were present when Mr. Mirfia received his death-wound; and such being the case, the question for the jury would be, whether they were there accidentally, or were aiding and assisting Mr. Eliot ? The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the circumstances of the unfortunate affair, and called the fol. lowing witnesses : Thos. Gotobed examined by Mr. CHAMBERS-Was a proctor residing at 82, Great Russell-street. He knew the prisoner at the bar, as well as Mr. Eliot. He believed the prisoners at the bar to be gentlemen following no profession. The pri soners and Mr. Eliot dined with him the day before the duel. Mr. Eliot and Young went away together on that day. They stated that they were going to the Saloon, to which place witness and Webber followed them. Witness and Webber stopped there about ten minutes. The Saloon was a place where supper and refreshments might be had. Witness saw Mr. Young there, but did not recollect seeing Mr. Eliot. There was no quarrel while he was there. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS-Had driven Mr. Webber to the Saloon in his cab. Had known him two years, and be lieved him to be a quiet peaceable young man. By Mr. PHILLIPS-The Saloon was a place where men and women met and had supper.. It was about ten minutes' walk from Bow-street. Had known the Saloon for the last seven or eight years. Josesph Hole and Henry Hunt were called, but did not appear. Robert Matthews, was a waiter in August last at the Sa loon. On the morning of the 22d there was a quarrel there between Mr. Eliot and Mr. Broughton. Several gentle men were standing round at the time, but witness did net know them. Mr. ADOLPHUS declined cross-examining the witness. Hunt was again called and appeared. Was a maker of billiard tables, in Cross-street, Golden-square. Knew Mr. Francis Lionel Eliot. Saw him at Feuillardes' Hotel on the 22d of the month of August last. The two prisoners were there also. After he had been there a short time in conversation with Eliot, Young and Webber joined them. Knew a person of the name of Broughton; saw him in the Coffee-room on the morning of the 22d. ; saw him go to the table where the two prisoners and Eliot were. He slightly bowed to them, asked some questions, and then sat down. When Eliot first entered the Coffee-room he came up and addressed witness, and fearing that he should be overheard he took witness into the passage. The whole of the convex sation respected money that Eliot owed the witness. Richard Fowling was a post-boy at the Robin Hood, Re gent-street. Went the 22d August to Feuillarde's Hotel with a carriage and pair. Three gentlemen got into the carriage,but he could not say that either of the prisoners were there. After the three gentlemen got into the carriage, he drove to Wimbledon Common. On the road saw two gentlemen in a one-horse gig. When they arrived at the Common, the gentlemen got out. There was at that time one gig and a gentleman's cab there. Two gentlemen got out of the gig, and one gentle man got out of the street cab. One of the gentlemen stopped with him, and the other walked away. Shortly aftervvards the other gentleman followed. Witness then went into the hollow, where he saw two gentlemen firing pistols at each other ; they then walked away from the spot at which they had been standing, went forward to several other persons, and then returned back again► to the same spot, and fired again at each other. Witness saw one of the gentlemen fall. into the arms of another. The person who fell was not the gentleman who got out of the carriage he had driven. The party he had driven there then walked up the bill, got into the carriage, and witness drove off; he having been directed to make the best of his way to town. After they had got a short distance, one of the party jumped out of the carriage, and said he would see the young man righted ; upon which another gentleman said he would do so himself, as he could not be im plicated. The person who first jumped out was the one who fought the duel. Witness set the latter gentleman down in the Edgeware-road ; the carpet bag was then taken out. Could not swear to either of the prisoners at the bar. Edman Scott was a surgeon, residing. at 22, Rockingham row, Kent-road. Knew the late Mr. Charles Mirth', who resided at No. 2, Pleasant-place, West-square,Lambeth. On the 21st witness dined with the unfortuate deceased. Ever since witness knew he had lived as a private gentleman. Mr. Mirfin went out in company with Mr. Broughton about 11 o'clock that night. On the following morning witness saw Mr. Broughton in his (witness's) bed-room. Witness went with Broughton to breakfast with Mirfin. In consequence of a conversation they had together witness went with Mr. Broughton to the London-road. Witness got into a cab, and Mr. Mirfin and Mr. Broughton went forward in the former's gig. When they arrived at the telegraph at Wimbledon they met a carriage with several persons in it, and among them were the two pri soners at the bar. Mr. Mirfin and Mr. Broughton drove past the carriage, and Mr. Broughton got out and spoke to one of the gentlemen, who was walking behind the carriage. Mr. Broughton then got again into the gig, which was driven in one direction, and the carriage in another. When they arrived at the mill witness saw a gentleman's cabriolet, but no person was in it but there were three or four gentlemen upon the ground; the prisoners were two of them. Mr. Mirtin, Mr. Broughton, himself, and the other gentlemen, then went down the hill. The carpet bag was then produced, and Mr. Broughton and another gentleman tossed for the choice of ground. The other gentleman was not either of the prisoners at the bar. Mr. Broughton won the choice, and the ground was marked out. They then tossed fur who should charge the pistols, and Mr. Eliot's friend was successful. Two pair of pistols were then loaded, one pair belonging to Mr. Mirfin, and the other to Mr. Eliot. Witness carried Mr. Mirfin's pistols to the ground. After the pistols were loaded Mr. Broughton went up to fetch Mr. Mirfie. Some little alterca- tion took place about the loading of the pistols. Wit ness would not swear that the two prisoners at the bar were sufficiently near to bear the altercation. They did not interfere. The interference of Mr. Eliot with respect to the loading of the pistols, eaufed the altercation, and witness, upon finding that he was one of the principals, re fused to allow him to remain near them. Mr. Eliot th, n re- tired thirty or forty yards. As soon as the pistols were loaded they then tossed to know who was to give the word of com mand. Neither of the prisoners acted as second to Mr. Eliot; one of the prisoners was standing close by when the pistols were loaded, but he did not interfere in any way whatever. The one that was close by was Webber. Could not swear that Young was present either at the loading of the pistols r r the firing. After the pistols were loaded Mr. Mirfia and Mr. Eliot were placed upon their ground. Eliot's pistols were then delivered to them by their respective seconds. Witness, together with the seconds, retired several paces. Some one then said " Gentlemen, are you ready ? Stop I" which was agreed upon as the signal for firing. raey both fired and the ball struck against the crown of Mr. Mirfin's hat. The seconds then interfered, but the principals remained in their places. Some conversation took place between the seconds and prsncipals, but what it was witness did not know. Witness then heard Mr. Mirfin insist upon a second shot. Witness heard enough of the conversation to know that an at tempt was made to make a reconciliation ; but Mr. Mit fin would not hear of it. Witness believed that Mr. Eliot would have made a verbal apology, but Mr. Mirfin refused to receive any apology unless it was written. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN observed that it was a great pity the seconds did not take the matter on themselves. Examination resumed. —Witness directed Mr. Mirfin's at tention to his hat having been struck by his adversary's ball, but he insisted upon having another shot. Mr. Mirfin's pistols were then delivered to the parties, and they fired. Eliot fired first, but not until after the signal was given. Witness thought that Mr. Mirfin's pistol was fired after he had received the fatal shot. Witness did not at first perceive that either was hit. Mr. Mirfin walked towards witness; he bad his left band on his right side, and he observed to witness that he was wounded. Witness asked where, and he then pointed to the piece, but did not speak. Witness said 1 ant extremely sorry, and added, " Good bye, God bless you." To which Mirfin said, " G oo d bye, old fellow; God bless you." Witness then assisted him to the cab. Mr. Broughton asked witness if the wound was serious; to which he replied that he was sorry to say it was. Mr. Eliot and his second looked on, but did not say a word. Broughton then asked what he should do, to which witness replied, the sooner you leave the ground the better. Mr. Mirfin died in less than ten minutes. Th e I wound was between the fifth and sixth rib, and was occasioned I by the pistol ball. Cross-examed by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Went there as the friend of Mirfin. Knew the nature of the errand be was going upon. ! Had been twice- out upon sitni:ar occasions, once as principal, I and once as surgeon. About two years ago went out with Mr. W(bb.

Accounts received from Liverpool this morning state that the Royal William steamer sailed yesterday. for New York. She is elegantly fitted up, both fore and aft. She has on board 66 cabin passengers, and is not so deep in the water as last voyage. It is expected she will perform the voyage in 14 days. The rumour which prevailed on the Stock Exchange among the speculators and jobbers that there would be an increase in the rate of discount at the Bank of England, has not been realized. Yesterday the proprietors of Bank Stock held a general Court-day for the purpose of declaring a dividend, and 4 per cent. for the half year, as usual, was declared, and no ❑otice taken of an increase in the rate of discount. Accounts have been received from Demerara of the sth ult., which are of a favourable nature. THE FUNDS. In the course of yesterday afternoon the Consol Market re sumed a firm appearance, and Consols closed at 93.1 for Money, and 93 i . 94 for the Account. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date. It states, in an article from the Handelsblad, dated four o'clock in the afternoon, the Bourse—" That the last news received from the Hague announces that the proposi tions of the Conference are of such a nature as cannot be taken into consideration by our Government. This has caused extensive sales to be effected in our national funds—above all, in the Active Debt and Billets de Chance."
